Question

Finish the pattern. Rule: Subtract 15
90, __, __, __.

Answer 1

To complete the pattern starting with 90 and using the rule to subtract 15, the numbers sequentially would be 75, 60, and 45, following the consistent subtraction rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Completing the Number Pattern

Given the pattern starts with 90, and the rule is to subtract 15 from each number to get to the next, we will apply this rule step by step to find the missing numbers:

1. First number: Since 90 is the starting number, we subtract 15 from it:
   90 - 15 = 75
2. Second number: Now, subtract 15 from the first missing number, 75:
   75 - 15 = 60
3. Third number: Finally, subtract 15 from the second missing number, 60:
   60 - 15 = 45

The completed pattern is 90, 75, 60, 45.

Step 8. Check to see if the answer is reasonable: Yes, it is reasonable and follows the subtracting pattern consistently.
